A man named Charles II. Constance

Dakoss Bsu. He tackled up : long list Of

the bottom that .'ths above would be

putting the hammer away when promi-
nent citizen came In and showing his hat
ON the back Of his head began reading
them. He studied them astentively for
about minute and turned around and
said:

The artist reminds me, with q very
trite picture of avery familiar sight, that
all this new-fangled railroading has not
diminished the old-fashioned ways Of
travelling. When the bridge was built 1t
was thought the main ferry to Brooklyn
would be driven out of business, but It's
boats are loaded every night just as the
sketch shows. New York is quite big
town. The more we do to handle the
crowds the bigger they grow.

another one is after that. Now imagine
the first train reaching Brooklyn-three

guards urge the p0bple to hasten, as well
as they may, for II the people scramble

be bearing down ON them at q distance of
only 600 feet behind and at rate of

train-load after train-loa and day after
day, and to the credit of.the superin-
tendent, Mr.. &C. Martin, be Il said there
never has been loss of human life on
that railroad.
Railroad men who come to New York
look upon this evening scene at either
end Of the big bridge with undisguised
amazement. It Is conceded to be the
greatest sight In the business. At the
New York end IL the vast crowd pour
ing in the cavernous mouth of the bridge
90 rapidly that the station platform is kept
packed with people during the ninety
minutes of the rush, the train loads that
are taken away leaving no vacancy in the

as ever comes to New York. We did
not use to possess any public institutions,

longer are we without our wonders.
Never traveller, . snobbish lord or SER
want of Europe reaches New York now
but he is taken of his guard and forced
to stare and exclsim with surprise at
our marvellous railroads. Rsilroadihg in
New York is almost like railroading gone
mad; 1t certainly is the most extraordi-
nary railroading the world has ever seen.
1t is not only that 1t is all done In the
air, but 1t effects the transportation Of
greater crowds than ever were carried in
any way or anywhere in the world be-
fore. Moreover, 1t is not likely that any
thing to equal 1t will ever be seen else
where, no matter II mightier cities spring
up to wrest old Gotham's prestige from

methods, for our rsilroading is the re-

our population keeps increasing, Is swell.

highways until 1t Is. already admitted
that nowhere else-are such multitudes
gathered and pressed together and
whirled up and down as in this city.
If man were to rise In q balloon over
the City Hall Park at about five o'clock
In the evening he would see enough to
comprehend 1t. He would see dense
black lines of persons moving east and
west, down Fulton, Courtlandt, Cham

waited stations, and multitude. denser
than all these put together, moving

devouring nav of the other being side
by side. In about an hour, or at the
most ninety minutes, he would see al
least 100000 persons swept away from
the business end of the town to the resi-.
dence end and over to the City OF
Churches. The jam at the bridge and
City Hall station is really awe-inspiring
The street becomes blocked and the
crowd halts every now and then to move
a little way ahead in an instant when
q trainful is hauled out and another
comes in to be filled. On the elevated
road at the City Hall station between
10000 and 70, 900 persons are packed into
trains of five cars each, running five
minutes apart. The people are packed
in these cars until not only the aisles but
the platforms are jammed, and coaches
meant to carry-ffty-five or sixty persons
move away with $50 or more, the whole
train carrying 75O or 800 persons.
